Willow Talk: A Willow Podcast

Cam shows up, mysteriously and suspiciously alone, with an update about his new show, Observable Radio:

When he discovers something beneath the static of the worlds’s communication network, an unnamed observer begins to catalog and record the strange signals that should not exist…

Observable Radio is a found footage anthology podcast from Cameron Suey and Phil van Hest.

Chris and Cameron cower in the presence of the Chief Administrator of the Dread Mines of Skellin, only to discover that he's actually an actor pretending to be a horrifying monster. Tom Wilton has appeared in many Star Wars films, and he joins Cameron and Chris to talk about the particular challenges of finding the core of empathy for a character that's composed of many pounds of costumes. With the Crone dead, Phil is set loose and the rest of the studio staff is concerned.

Chris and Cameron go forth into the Shattered Sea to puzzle over the latest chapter of Willow and try not to forgot exactly what quest they were on. Cameron finds the Rosetta Stone of translating Moons to Years, and Chris makes up a new kind of guy who probably already exists.

Chris and Cameron clock in for their latest shift on Coronet Level to refine and render the latest chapter of Willow into Troll Improving Elixir. Cameron struggles to reconcile the complex lunar measurements of time with the known history of Willow World, and Chris struggles not to sing the entire soundtrack to the Rankin/Bass Hobbit cartoon. Also, it wasn't your TV. It was dark.

Chris and Cameron party down with the latest chapter of Willow. Chris delights at the unexpected familial revelations, and Cameron gets hung up on the fact that Galladoorn had a slave trade. Kissing, drugs, and rollicking flute solos abound, at least until the Bungee Trolls show up.

(Also, we would like to use our “Get Out of Audio Troubles Free” Podcasting card for this episode. Chris is recording on his travels, and Cameron decided to democratically contribute by having trouble with his microphone stand.)

Chris and Cameron get spooked with Willow's spookiest Chapter yet. Chris is swept away by the emotional interplay between past and present, while Cameron is delighted by cannibal jokes and gross liver, and once again they talk about denim, which looks good on everyone.
